Sgt. Paincakes Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Alright, so every time (since I turned on my computer today) I launch Steam, it works slowly for 5 minutes or so, before "Not Responding" and crashing, where I can't close Steam.exe in task manager, and so can't relaunch Steam unless I fully restart my computer, which is kinda annoying, as it will only work for a further 5 minutes until it inevitably crashes again. If it means anything, I am downloading a Source Filmmaker update as I use Steam. I have never had this before, has anyone ever experienced it and/or know how to fix it? I'll give out more specifics if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knavesmith Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 You can stop the "Steam.exe" process via Task Manager. That should work. As for the crashing, have you tried launching it in Offline Mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll restart my computer so I can try offline mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punishment_Fatal Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I'd also recommend saving your steamapps folder somewhere and then trying a fresh install of Steam, since you could have a corrupted file or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll restart my computer so I can try offline mode Highlight it then press the 'Delete' key on your keyboard. That will close it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll do that IF the problem persists. Hopefully it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Paincakes Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 not 100% certain, but it hasn't crashed yet, so it COULD be fixed I hope haven't spoken too soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
